  • Right this way for golden, luscious pork carnitas 👉 www.rickbayless.com/carnitas-...
    ****
    In my way of thinking, there are three ways to turn out pork carnitas.
    First, there’s the professional version, made in places (often taquerias) devoted almost exclusively to carnitas, and this is the standard bearer. Cooks break down whole pigs into their primal cuts and lower them into copper cauldrons of very hot lard where they crackle and bubble and fry as the temperature of the lard drops to a gentle roil in which the meat coasts to a golden tenderness over the next several hours. That method is hard to replicate at home (huge caldron of lard, primal cuts of pork, intimate knowledge of perfect temperatures), but it is the one that turns out classic carnitas texture and flavor.
    The second way-the method I call “home-style”-is really easy, utilizing slabs of bone-in pork shoulder (or country ribs) cooked at a moderate temperature in a closed moist environment until nearly tender, then uncovered and roasted in a hot oven until all the liquid evaporates and the meat browns delectably in its own rendered fat.
    The third-and I’ll admit that this isn’t a common approach-transforms the first method into something doable at home. Like the second approach, the meat is pork shoulder (or country ribs). But like the first, it’s cooked in lard, giving it that incredible texture only achieved by cooking meat submerged in its own fat. But the lard isn’t frying-temperature hot as at the beginning of classic carnitas preparation. Instead, just as if I were making traditional French duck confit, I cook the pork slowly in its fat until tender, then brown it when I’m ready to serve. This technique is very useful in a restaurant kitchen where heating/browning individual portions is necessary. This method takes longer (though you’re not really tending it), but the outcome is worth it.

    It's amazing to think that there are people who are actually mad at Rick and say he is appropriating Mexican culture. He's such a soft spoken and kind man who clearly has nothing but love and adoration for the food and culture of Mexico. I just don't understand how some people can think that way. Keep doing what you do, Rick. ❤️

      literally who cares if one doesnt follow a recipe as its traditionally done, i dont get why do people get so upset over someone preparing something differently because thats not traditional, im a mexican and i see this recipe as good, it doesnt really even differ from how i know carnitas are made, the difference being that its made in a house and not everyone has access to a huge pot of boiling lard in their homes

      @@edlozano4081 I don't think of him as opportunistic because:
      1. Rick has respect for the food, people, and country of Mexico.
      2. He has traveled extensively in Mexico, humbly learning from many.
      3. He has a genuine passion for and vast knowledge of the foods of Mexico.
      4. He shares his passion and knowledge with anyone who wants to learn - and he offers free classes and free video recipes on the internet for people around the world - most of whom will never have the opportunity to go to Mexico. He does this in English for the many people who don't understand Spanish and thus can't learn from a Spanish-speaking video recipe/book by a knowledgeable Mexican cook/chef.
      5. Is ok for him to EARN money from his endeavors - that's his chosen line of WORK, and the money covers his costs, supports his family and travels, and rewards him for his lifetime of culinary interest and abilities.
      6. Etc, etc....
      I, too, love sharing with people my vast knowledge and passion of foods from around the world, and I love learning from others. Does the 2 years I made money from making international meals delivered weekly to a dozen people make me opportunistic? Of course not. After decades of sharing foods - free to them, costly to me - , was fine that I covered my costs. Besides, they asked me to provide a weekly ready-meal. And they got appetizer-to-dessert meals from regions of which there are no local restaurants, such as Indonesia, Turkey, West Africa, usually priced at cost, $8-$15. An array of authentic Spanish tapas? And a Rijsttafel for $20? We all were happy.
      Whether a person is opportunistic or not depends on his/her motivations, intentions, honesty, level of selfishness, etc.
      Is a car mechanic working on your car opportunistic? Only if he/she lies, cheats, steals, price-gouges, or does shoddy work.... Otherwise, the mechanic is providing a needed service, using their time, talent, education, space, and special tools.
      People can be opportunistic within their own homeland by taking advantage of their own people - they don't respect nor care about others, they don't educate people about their their gullibilities because then the opportunity of a victim would disappear, etc, etc.

    Just made your first suggested version of the oven-roasted Carnitas. The simplicity and efficiency of it was amazing. As well as the flavor obviously.

    I was once in Laredo Texas doing work for water authority on the Rio Grande and I had carnitas 6 ways at a restaurant called Tapatia De carnitas (or something like that)…still the best Mexican food I’ve ever had..and carnitas as well! And I have been a fan of carnitas my whole life. IMO, If a Mexican restaurant doesn’t have carnitas then it’s not a authentic Mexican restaurant.

    Bravo! Pork Nirvana! The best Mexican food experience I have ever had was from a food truck in the heart of Denver Colorado’s industrial District, and it was a Carnitas burrito, dripping with fat and crispy pork. Goodness! Pure heaven! I was the only one in line that spoke English and the person running the truck could barely understand anything I was saying, but they understood that I wanted a Carnitas burrito , and boy did they deliver! I love how you have taken and merged duck Confite with this Mexican classic.

    Hey Rick I just wanted to mention that instead of putting meat or items you intend to vaccum seal directly into the bag place, place the items into an appropriately sized container first, then pull the vacuum bag over the cup. Finally invert the the container and remove it from the inside of the bag. This keeps your portions consistent but more importantly keeps the inside of the bag clean where the bag will be sealed. I found this very useful when it was shown to me. Thanks for all your work and willingness to share!

    Good stuff. I’ve tried the Dutch oven method and it works well.
    Here’s what my go to is for time saving now tho.
    Instapot ,2 inch cubes pork 3lbs or So.
    Spices usually, salt pepper cayenne paprika chile powder garlic powder and bay leaves. Little clove and cinnamon about an 1/8 th tsp each.
    Fill with water just under tops of pork.
    1 hour in the instapot high temp.
    Take out put onto cookie sheet , and break up. Set broiler to high and crisp up the tops.
    You can have this all done in about 1 hour 10 minutes.
    Make some corn tortillas & salsa while you wait.
    I’ve literally done this after work (off @ 5) on a weekday and we ate by 630.

    Carnitas are one of my favorite foods ever! The combination of the tender meat and fat and the crispy edges on a warm tortilla with a little hot sauce or salsa verde is just about the most perfect bite of food you could ever have.

    Been doing the crockpot version for years. Use pork butt, fattiest I can find, season as you like, no added lard. When tender, spread on foil lined cookie sheet, broil 15 minutes, turning and basting every few minutes with crockpot juice until crunchy. I know what I'm having tomorrow. Thanks for the variations.

    This is the Carnitas video UA-cam has been lacking! Thank you for explaining and breaking it down like that. You’re a legend!
    Confit it’s in my mind the only way to go but it can also be achieved with much less fat vacuum packed and cooked Sousvide.

  • @blake1771
    @blake1771 Рік тому +4

    i get pretty rave review for my carnitas. basically, i take the pork shoulder and cut it into about 2 inch cubes. I season with SPG and then sear/brown the pork in batches in a dutch oven with some oil that can handle the heat. i deglaze the pan with some mexican beer. add all the seared pork and its juices, back into the dutch oven. you're going to braise this in a liquid. I have tried all sorts of methods and they are all pretty much the same to me. I have used chicken stock, milk, condensed milk, Coke, water, and various combos of the above. Also i usually add a couple bay leaves, some sliced onions, slice orange, and some mexican oregano. I personally don't think I have seen a real big difference among any of the methods, but I typically go for some mix of stock and coke. cover and braise in the oven until the pork is fork tender. using two forks shred the pork to some degree. You don't want it completely shredded and you don't want it completely left in cubes. i guess my best advice is shred/chop it to your preference. Now the key after you get the pork to your desired "consistency" is to brown it off in a fat. I usually have bacon fat on hand so that's what I use., but you could use pork lard etc. sear the pork again in whatever fat you're using. You kind of want some bits to be crispy and some other pieces that are just browned.Salt and Pepper to taste. goes great with a grilled pineapple salsa on a flour tortilla and great with onion, cilantro, and salsa of your choice on a corn tortilla.

      @@blacklisted4885 i recently did some in JUST lard. Basically you're doing a confit and it turned out pretty spectacular. it eliminated the need to crisp up the meat after braising as I described in my previous post b/c it just came out perfectly done.
